Description
CA 0224~187 1998-08-18 Adheslon-promotlng addltlve for coatlngs based on thermoplastlc polyesters The lnventlon relates to an epoxy resln-free coating composltlon based on a thermoplastlc polyester, lnto whlch an amorphous polyester has been incorporated as adheslon-promotlng additlve.
On the basis of thermoplastlc polyesters, coatlng materlals have for a long tlme been produced and marketed for a very wlde varlety of appllcatlons. The common method of the productlon ls to lncorporate ad~uvants requlred for the lntended appllcation, such as color pigments, fillers, stabllizers, leveling agents, luster agents and/or other additional and auxlllary substances, lnto the polyester on compoundlng by using extruders or kneadlng apparatus. The resulting compound can be applied as a solution, fllm, melt, powder or in some other form ln the sphere of use envlsaged.
A technique whlch has proven partlcularly sultable in practlce is a powder coating of metals by the fluldlzed-bed slnterlng or electrostatlc method. In the fluidized-bed sintering method, hot metal parts are coated by belng dlpped lnto an alr-fluldlzed bed of the pulverulent coatlng materlal.
In thls procedure the thermoplastlc polyester melts onto the surface of the hot metal part and, after coollng, forms a protectlve coatlng. In electrostatlc coatlng, powder is sprayed by means of compressed air onto the metal part where it remalns adherlng through the appllcation of a hlgh dlrect-current voltage. Subsequently, a coating ls obtalned llkewlse by meltlng (ln an oven or using a gas flame, for example).
O.Z. 5245 CA 0224~187 1998-08-18 The coatlng materlal can also be employed ln another way - as a melt or fllm, for example.
Desplte the fact that the preparatlon of thermoplastlc coatlng powders is relatlvely complex, owlng to the cold grlndlng operatlon wlth llquld nltrogen, lt has been posslble to malntaln and even lncrease the market share ln the face of competltlon from wet coatlng materlals and reactlve systems. Envlronmental factors are crltlcal here, slnce coating powders operate entlrely wlthout solvent. In addltlon, purely thermoplastlc coatlng materlals have processlng advantages over reactlve systems slnce they are melted on purely through the supply of heat and cure by coollng. Because of this they are sultable lnter alla for extremely rapld coatlng unlts operatlng wlth downstream further processlng, for whlch reactlve systems are generally too slow. By thelr very nature, reactlve systems requlre chemlcally reactlve components and hardeners, whlch are often toxlcologlcally ob~ectlonable. Moreover, a proportlon of resldual monomer lnevltably remalns ln the coatlng after the reactlon.
These are also the reasons why the use of thermoplastlc systems ls preferred ln the weld seam protectlon of welded preserve cans. In the can, the can seam ls rellably protected by thermoplastlc polyesters agalnst any lngredlent, and hence preserves the contents unchanged.
The necessary coatlngs propertles, such as adheslon, elastlclty and coatlng sterlllzablllty, however, are not provided by the thermoplastlc polyester alone. Marked O.Z. 5245 CA 0224~187 1998-08-18 lmprovements have only been obtalned, rather, by mlxlng approprlate addltlves. Through the effect of correspondlng formulatlons, the propertles have been optlmlzed to the extent where, today, coatlngs of thermoplastlc polyesters have attalned very good servlce propertles.
State of the art ln promotlng adheslon ls to incorporate epoxy reslns as addltlve lnto the thermoplastlc polyesters. In thls lnstance the epoxy resln ls not - as ln usually the case - chemlcally crossllnked but ls merely mlxed wlth the polyester, slnce the polyesters commonly employed do not possess any notable reactlve groups. The actlvlty of the epoxy resln addltlve ln terms of the coatlng propertles ls excellent and therefore makes lt posslble to meet completely all requlrements on the coatlng system.
Where the coatlng system ls employed ln the food packaglng sector, the relevant regulatlons must be met, such as FDA 175.300 (USA), Dlrectlve 90~128 (EU), etc. It ls here speclflcally that thermoplastlc systems, as already stated, have declslve advantages over other systems.
In the recent past, epoxy reslns employed as coatlng materlal ln the food packaglng sector have come under close public scrutlny. Traces of _lsphenol A _l~lycldyl ethyl ~BADGE) from epoxy resln coatlng materlals are leached out of the lnterlor coatlngs of preserve cans and are taken up lnto the human organlsm together wlth the food. In oll-contalnlng flsh cans, lndeed, lmpermlsslbly hlgh concentratlons have been measured of BADGE leached from the lnterlor coatlng. BADGE ls now suspected on lntake lnto the human organlsm of havlng O.Z. 5245 CA 0224~187 1998-08-18 brought about carclnogenlc and estrogenlc effects. A
consequence of thls ls that the Sclentlflc Commlttee on Foods (SCF) of the European Unlon (EU) ln June 1996 undertook a toxlcologlcal reassessment of BADGE. Accordlnglyl although there ls as yet no flrm evldence of a carclnogenlc effect, the German Federal Instltute for Consumer Health Protectlon and Veterinary Medlclne (BgVV), ln a press release of November 1996, called for technologlcal measures to mlnlmlze the contamlnatlon of foods. BADGE contents of more than 1 mg/kg are, accordlngly, classlfled as ob~ectionable on health grounds.
Customary thermoplastlc coating systems include in the formulation a small percentage of epoxy resin, which naturally llkewise lncludes a certain proportion of resldual monomer (BADGE). As a consequence, the thermoplastic polyesters coatlng system, whlch fundamentally is ecologically and toxlcologically flawless, has stlll come in for criticism because of the addition of epoxy resln.
A ma~or ob~ect according to the present lnvention is to find, for a coating composition containing a thermoplastic polyester as a base resin, an additive which is entirely toxicologically unob~ectlonable and ensures propertles at least as good as those of the epoxy resin addltive.
It has surprisingly been found that certain polyesters, as herein described, as an additive for the customary thermoplastic polyesters can lead to coatings having excellent properties, and that such polyesters are able to replace epoxy resins.
O.Z. 5245 CA 0224~187 1998-08-18 The adheslon-promotlng polyesters are employed ln amounts of from about 0.5 to about 15% by welght based on the whole composltlon. They are amorphous and have a relatlvely small molecular weight of from 500 to 20,000, preferably from lO00 to 15,000, and are composed of:
(A) acld components comprlslng ~1) at least one allphatlc or cycloallphatlc polycarboxyllc acld and (11) at least one aromatlc polycarboxyllc acid;
(B) polyol compounds comprlslng at least one allphatlc or cycloallphatlc polyol; and, (C) optlonally, at least one hydoxycarboxyllc acld.
The polycarboxyllc aclds, polyols and hydroxycarboxyllc aclds, for produclng the amorphous polyesters, may be ln thelr derlvatlve forms, such as esters and lactones.
The amorphous, adhesion-promoting polyester preferably contalns as the acid component ~A) at least one aromatic dlcarboxyllc acld ~such as terephthallc acid, lsophthallc acld, etc.) and at least one allphatlc dlcarboxyllc acld havlng 2 to 36, more preferably 4 to 10, carbon atoms. The polyol component ~B) preferably contalns at least one llnear a,~-diol havlng 2 to 36, more preferably 2 to 6, carbon atoms ~such as ethylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, etc.), at least one other aliphatlc dlol having 3 to 36, more preferably 3 to 10 carbon atoms ~such as 1,2-propanedlol, etc.), and, optlonally, at least one polyol havlng 3 or more hydroxyl groups ~such as trimethylolpropane, glycerol, pentaerythrltol, etc.).
O.Z. 5245 CA 0224~187 1998-08-18 The adheslon-promotlng polyesters preferably have a glass transitlon temperature of between 0 and 70~C, more preferably between 20 and 60~C, and a vlscoslty number of larger than 45 ml/g, more preferably larger than 50 ml/g.
These amorphous polyesters stlll havlng a conslderable acld number (preferably due to use of an excess amount of the polycarboxyllc acld component) have partlcularly good adhesion ob~ects to metals.
The thermoplastlc base polyester ln the coatlng materlals accordlng to the lnventlon ls a partlally crystalllne polyester. Preferably, such a polyester has a vlscoslty number of larger than 60 ml/g, more preferably larger than 70 ml/g, a glass transltlon temperature between 0 and 50~C, more preferably between 10 and 40~C and a meltlng polnt preferably between 150 and 200~C, more preferably between 160 and 180~C.
The thermoplastlc base polyester usually has as lts acld component at least one aromatic dlcarboxylic acld such as terephthallc acld, and at least one allphatlc dlcarboxyllc acld havlng 2 to 36 carbon atoms, or ester-forming derivatlves thereof. On the dlol slde lt contains preferably, 1,4-butanediol and optlonally one or more other allphatlc dlols having 2 to 36 carbon atoms.
The thermoplastlc base polyester ls contalned generally in an amount of at least about 35% by welght, preferably at least about 55% by welght based on the whole composltlon.
O.Z. 5245 The coatlng composition accordlng to the invention may as additional flexibillty-lmparting component include a further polyester. This further polyester is partially crystalllne and contalns as lts acld component at least one aromatlc dlcarboxyllc acld such as terephthallc acid, for example, and at least one allphatlc dicarboxylic acld havlng 2 to 36 carbon atoms, or ester-formlng derivatlves thereof. As for the diol component, the further polyester contains 1,4-butanedlol and optionally one or more other aliphatic dlols havlng 2 to 36 carbon atoms. The addltlonal polyester ls employed ln amounts of from 2 to 60% by welght, preferably from 5 to 50% by welght and, wlth partlcular preference, from 10 to 40% by welght based on the whole composltlon. It has a vlscoslty number larger than 60 ml/g, preferably larger than 70 ml/g, a glass transltion temperature of between -50 and 0OC, preferably from -40 to -10~C and a melting polnt between 140 and 200~C, preferably from 145 to 170~C. This further polyester glves the compound flexible properties and makes it particularly suitable for the coatlng of parts whlch subsequently undergo mechanical deformation.
The coatlng materlals according to the lnventlon can be used for a very wlde varlety of appllcatlons to substrates.
One preferred fleld of use ls coating ln the sector of food packaging. For this purpose the ad~uvants required for the envlsaged appllcatlon, such as color plgments, flllers, stablllzers, levellng agents, luster agents and/or other additlonal and auxillary substances, are lncorporated lnto the polyester. The total amount of such other ad~uvants ls O.Z. 5245 CA 0224~187 1998-08-18 generally not more than 40% by weight of the whole composltion. The compound can then be applied as a solutlon, fllm, melt or powder or ln another form ln the lntended fleld of use and ls preferably then melted.
Comparative Example 1: (thermoplastlc polyester wlthout addltlve):
A thermoplastlc polyester (accordlng to DE-A 23 46 559) ls processed to form a composltlon wlth the addltlon of 20% of tltanium oxlde and 0.5% of a leveling agent. Thls composltlon ls subsequently cold-ground and sieved to produce a powder having a partlcle slze of smaller than 85 ~m. The powder ls applled to metal panels about 0.4 mm thlck by spraylng wlth an electrostatlc gun and is melted ln an oven at 200~C for 5 mlnutes.
The coatlng, which is approximately 60 ~m thick, has the followlng properties adheslon: crosshatch GT 0, elasticity: Erlchsen indentation ~ 10 mm, adhesion after hot water test: crosshatch GT 0, adhesion after acetlc acld sterlllzatlon (3%): crosshatch GT 4, adheslon after lactlc acld sterllization (2%): crosshatch GT 4.
Flnal assessment: the coating composltion loses lts adhesion after acld attack and ls of llmlted use ln practlce.
O.Z. 5245 CA 0224~187 1998-08-18 Comparative ExamPle 2: (thermoplastlc polyester wlth epoxy resin additlve):
Coating powder (prepared as ln Comparatlve Example 1) but wlth the addltlon of 5% of epoxy resln addltlve. As ln Example 1, the powder was applled to metal panels about 0.4 mm thlck by spraylng with an electrostatlc gun and was melted ln an oven at 200~C for 5 mlnutes.
The coatlng, whlch ls approxlmately 60 ~m thlck, has the followlng propertles:
adheslon: crosshatch GT 0, elastlcity: Erlchsen lndentatlon > 10 mm, adheslon after hot water test: crosshatch GT 0, adheslon after acetlc acld sterlllzatlon (3%): crosshatch GT
0, adheslon after lactlc acld sterllizatlon (2%): crosshatch GT
0.
Example 1: (Thermoplastlc polyester wlth addltion of the adheslon-promotlng polyester resln):
Coatlng powder (prepared as ln Comparatlve Example 1) but wlth the addltlon of 3% of polyester resln havlng the followlng composltlon terephthallc acld lsophthalic acid sebaclc acld ethylene glycol 1,4-butanedlol 1,2-propanedlol trlmethylopropane O.Z. 5245 and the physical data below:
viscosity number about 60 ml/g glass transltlon temperature about 45~C
OH number about 5 mg of KOH/g.
As ln Comparatlve Example 1, the powder was applled to metal panels about 0.4 mm thlck by spraylng wlth an electrostatic gun and was melted ln an oven at 200~C for S
mlnutes.
The coatlng, whlch ls approxlmately 60 ~m thlck, has the following propertles:
adhesion: crosshatch GT 0, elastlclty: Erlchsen lndentatlon ~ 10 mm, adheslon after hot water test: crosshatch GT 0, adheslon after acetlc acld sterlllzatlon (3%) crosshatch GT
0, adheslon after lactlc acld sterillzation (2%): crosshatch GT
0.
Flnal assessment: the coating composltlon ls reslstant to sterlllzatlon, adheslon ls very good even after acld attack, and the system can be employed for all flelds of use.
In Comparatlve Example 1 lt ~ecomes clear that even a thermoplastlc polyester ls unable to meet all re~ulrement placed on a coatlng system. Comparatlve Example 2 shows the system currently employed ln lndustry; however, thls formulatlon may release ~ADGE.
O.Z. 5245 CA 02245l87 l998-08-l8 Example 1 shows the use of the adheslon-promotlng polyesters accordlng to the lnventlon. They offer a fully equlvalent replacement for epoxy resln wlth equally good servlce properties.

The addltlonal polyester ls employed ln amounts of from 2 to 60% by welght, preferably from 5 to 50% by welght and, wlth partlcular preference, from 10 to 40% by welght based on the whole composltlon. It has a vlscoslty number larger than 60 ml/g, preferably larger than 70 ml/g, a glass transltion temperature of between -50 and 0OC, preferably from -40 to -10~C and a melting polnt between 140 and 200~C, preferably from 145 to 170~C. This further polyester glves the compound flexible properties and makes it particularly suitable for the coatlng of parts whlch subsequently undergo mechanical deformation.
The coatlng materlals according to the lnventlon can be used for a very wlde varlety of appllcatlons to substrates.
One preferred fleld of use ls coating ln the sector of food packaging. For this purpose the ad~uvants required for the envlsaged appllcatlon, such as color plgments, flllers, stablllzers, levellng agents, luster agents and/or other additlonal and auxillary substances, are lncorporated lnto the polyester. The total amount of such other ad~uvants ls O.Z. 5245 CA 0224~187 1998-08-18 generally not more than 40% by weight of the whole composltion. The compound can then be applied as a solutlon, fllm, melt or powder or ln another form ln the lntended fleld of use and ls preferably then melted.
Comparative Example 1: (thermoplastlc polyester wlthout addltlve):
A thermoplastlc polyester (accordlng to DE-A 23 46 559) ls processed to form a composltlon wlth the addltlon of 20% of tltanium oxlde and 0.5% of a leveling agent. Thls composltlon ls subsequently cold-ground and sieved to produce a powder having a partlcle slze of smaller than 85 ~m. The powder ls applled to metal panels about 0.4 mm thlck by spraylng wlth an electrostatlc gun and is melted ln an oven at 200~C for 5 mlnutes.
The coatlng, which is approximately 60 ~m thick, has the followlng properties adheslon: crosshatch GT 0, elasticity: Erlchsen indentation ~ 10 mm, adhesion after hot water test: crosshatch GT 0, adhesion after acetlc acld sterlllzatlon (3%): crosshatch GT 4, adheslon after lactlc acld sterllization (2%): crosshatch GT 4.
Flnal assessment: the coating composltion loses lts adhesion after acld attack and ls of llmlted use ln practlce.
O.Z. 5245 CA 0224~187 1998-08-18 Comparative ExamPle 2: (thermoplastlc polyester wlth epoxy resin additlve):
Coating powder (prepared as ln Comparatlve Example 1) but wlth the addltlon of 5% of epoxy resln addltlve. As ln Example 1, the powder was applled to metal panels about 0.4 mm thlck by spraylng with an electrostatlc gun and was melted ln an oven at 200~C for 5 mlnutes.
The coatlng, whlch ls approxlmately 60 ~m thlck, has the followlng propertles:
adheslon: crosshatch GT 0, elastlcity: Erlchsen lndentatlon > 10 mm, adheslon after hot water test: crosshatch GT 0, adheslon after acetlc acld sterlllzatlon (3%): crosshatch GT
0, adheslon after lactlc acld sterllizatlon (2%): crosshatch GT
0.
Example 1: (Thermoplastlc polyester wlth addltion of the adheslon-promotlng polyester resln):
Coatlng powder (prepared as ln Comparatlve Example 1) but wlth the addltlon of 3% of polyester resln havlng the followlng composltlon terephthallc acld lsophthalic acid sebaclc acld ethylene glycol 1,4-butanedlol 1,2-propanedlol trlmethylopropane O.Z. 5245 and the physical data below:
viscosity number about 60 ml/g glass transltlon temperature about 45~C
OH number about 5 mg of KOH/g.
As ln Comparatlve Example 1, the powder was applled to metal panels about 0.4 mm thlck by spraylng wlth an electrostatic gun and was melted ln an oven at 200~C for S
mlnutes.
The coatlng, whlch ls approxlmately 60 ~m thlck, has the following propertles:
adhesion: crosshatch GT 0, elastlclty: Erlchsen lndentatlon ~ 10 mm, adheslon after hot water test: crosshatch GT 0, adheslon after acetlc acld sterlllzatlon (3%) crosshatch GT
0, adheslon after lactlc acld sterillzation (2%): crosshatch GT
0.
Flnal assessment: the coating composltlon ls reslstant to sterlllzatlon, adheslon ls very good even after acld attack, and the system can be employed for all flelds of use.
In Comparatlve Example 1 lt ~ecomes clear that even a thermoplastlc polyester ls unable to meet all re~ulrement placed on a coatlng system. Comparatlve Example 2 shows the system currently employed ln lndustry; however, thls formulatlon may release ~ADGE.
O.Z. 5245 CA 02245l87 l998-08-l8 Example 1 shows the use of the adheslon-promotlng polyesters accordlng to the lnventlon. They offer a fully equlvalent replacement for epoxy resln wlth equally good servlce properties.
